Dear everyone,
started on keppra 1000mg... 1 week ago.. Swiched from tegretol, because I was getting to sick with side effects and I had poor seizure control also... I am also taking epilim 2400mg...

Now I had a huge seizure and was hospitalised.. After taking keppra for one week. Was it the adjustment to this new meds. Or is it because I have a coldsore on my lip i.E infection and meds arent working well.?

Went to dr he upped meds again. Feel more evened out now.. But before the initial feeling on keppra was stoned 24/7 and hyperactivity..

I have had appetite loss.. Which is good for me but also bad.. Epilim made me put on 15-20kgs and keppra states weight loss as a effect that has begun so I am happy.

No aggression to date as yet as the other pills made me very agitated and scared inside...

I have tle.. And this latest seizure was strangest ever..

Ppl said that my arms were at my sides shaking rapidly but evenly jerkin, head was to the side, eyes rolled way back in head more then usual, eye lid blinking, also making gibberish noises.... Leggs out streatched moving up and down jerkingly....Could hear a little.

Usually my arms are up to my chest. And I jerk all over, are there different ways of grand mals. Simple partials


to me I felt strange just before... Fait even, went paile in face felt sick in stomach, dropped to floor.. And remember peices inbetween.

I just cant imagine myself or what or how I must have looked so scarey total experiance lasted over 11 minutes.

Please feel free to tell me things of your experiances.

Thanks sami.
